Custom Labels, Tags and Packaging for Pestemals
Pestemal packaging options include woven or printed brand labels, care labels, hang tags, paper bands, polybags, cotton or paper pouches, gift boxes, barcodes and printed cartons. Choose by channel: bands and tags for retail, boxes for gifts, barcoded polybags for marketplaces. Labels should state fibre content, origin and care as required by your market.
Branding a pestemal involves three layers: labels on the towel, tags or bands on the product, and packaging around it. The right combination depends on where you sell – a boutique, a marketplace, a hotel or a gift box.
Key fact: fibre content, country of origin and care instructions are required on textile labels in many markets – check your destination's rules.
